IUPAC definition : A polymerization in which the growth of polymer chains proceeds by addition reactions
between molecules of all degrees of polymerization.;
Scope note : the earlier term addition polymerization embraced both the current concepts of polyaddition
and chain polymerization, but did not include condensative chain polymerization.; the growth steps are expressed by: px py¿px y{x}¿{1,2,...};{y}¿{1,2,...}where pxandpydenote
